Luring me into the wonder of the
unknown the smell of the woods
hidden within bare branches are
white owls whose wings are lovely
fluttering in the mysterious dark
urging myself to move along and
quickly before I wander too deep

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost
final verse
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Beautiful wanderings of the woods. Aren't owls so mysterious. I love that poem by R. Frost. Thank you for joining in.
ReplyDeleteA very nice touch of Frost, Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your wanderings in the dark, Truedessa, you created a lovely golden shovel from Frost’s line and love the appeal to the sense of smell that hooked me. And what a surprise the white owls were!
ReplyDeleteLovely! There's nothing like seeing owls among the trees.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteAs a wanderer of the woods myself, I enjoyed this foray into the dark and mysterious deep! Like Kim, I loved the white owls fluttering about! Perfect poem to go with Frost! 🌳
ReplyDeleteNice one
ReplyDeleteMuch love
The imagery here is wonderful. I am most smitten with these words:
ReplyDelete"white owls whose wings are lovely
fluttering in the mysterious dark"
Well done!
Some lovely alliteration which echoes Frost's dark and deep...

ReplyDeleteurging myself to move along
When a 'shy' owl does the contrary it makes for the unusual. And that makes a good poem. Well done True!
